> GK: Guth's only came up with because of the uniformity of the "mixture". It kind of makes sense to me because something had to repel everything before it collapsed back into "nothing". If the "bang story" is the story that is. So space itself expanded faster than light.-Guth explains that clearly in his book.-> 
> GK: But like you said, that is not set in stone. It can change today. They just can't test any of this yet. It is one mathematically reasonable story. There are a few out there. And we could talk about less mathematical stories, but need to be real careful there.-Very careful. Some of the theories based on math appear to be very fanciful to me.

> GK We should be careful when we talk about "matter". it is not a thing, it is a series of events. It is ok to talk about it as "something you can hold in your hand" but it is an event. That is an important distinction when you are talking about it in the detail you guys are trying to I think. Even the quarks inside the atom are moving close to the speed of light and exchanging gluons at enormous rates. Just think about the photon density in the room you are in right now. way cool.-You have a very interesting way of approaching the issue of matter. It appeared as a series of events in the early universe, which is what I was trying to show, but didn't put it into words in just that way.

> GK: I see the problem of "unification" lying in "time". There is no time. Only state changes that we call time. So they added a dimension that may not even exist. But it graphs nice and works very well. -Time is a series of events, a human concept. We base its units (human type) on Earth time events, the length of day divided by 12x2 or 24!

> GK: wow. I have to say, I have been in an atheists forum. If I posted this (even part of it) they all mock the heck out of me. Call me a fool. They don't even know what they don't know, but they have all the answers-All they have is faith in the belief: NO GOD. Agnostics have faith in NO PROOFS.
